Vidar Davidsen (born January 4, 1958) is a Norwegian football coach and former player. Davidsen played 46 international matches for Norway and scored 5 goals. One of those goals came in Norway's famous 2-1 win against Italy in 1985.

Davidsen started his playing career in Bærum, and had a short spell for Frigg before joining Vålerenga in 1980. Quickly becoming a first team regular, he helped win the Norwegian cup in his debut season. Davidsen and Vålerenga became league champions in 1981, 1983 og 1984.

Davidsen left Vålerenga after the 1986 season, and played one year in their rival club Lillestrøm before he decided to retire. Bærum appointed him as a coach, and since then he has coached Strømmen, Vålerenga, Lyn and Strømsgodset with a variable degree of success. He currently works as a football commentator in TV3.
